Vroon Offshore Opts for Micanti Antifouling

Vroon Offshore has chosen a Micanti antifouling product for its anchor-handling tug-supply (AHTS) vessel, the VOS Triton.

The antifouling product chosen is 100% environmentally friendly as it is chemical-free and therefore does not release harmful toxins into the water when applied.  The coating helps to reduce fuel consumption by removing barnacles to lessen the friction of the ship in the water, and is able to function on ships even when they are moored or sailing at low speed.

Vroon closely monitors fuel consumption and therefore hopes that the use of the Micanti antifouling will give them an idea as to whether it will be able to increase fuel savings on offshore vessels.
